Ubuntu ships with nano by default? And every district Ubuntu I’ve used is defaulted to nano?

Ubuntu is nowhere near the only major distro. Maybe on the desktop, but most likely not on the server.

Edit: Also there are a lot of stories of "this old system that is central to our operation that nobody except that one guy 10 years ago knew how to set up" in companies.

I understand that Ubuntu may not be the /most/ popular distro. (tho everyone I know who runs Linux in AWS/GCE/Azure seems to run Ubuntu except me, I'm on Amazon Linux 2)

But the person I replied to said 'all' which is incorrect. If he said 'most' or something I wouldn't have replied :)

He said that vi is present in all distros, which is correct as far as I know. Not that it's the default.
